PATH_MAX is this value for win32 name not for kernel name like \\?\c\. It is 32k in this case.
When using kernel APIs (like cygwin does), then yes, the limit is 32k. But when using Windows APIs (like mingw and MSVC do), then you are better off using 260, which is the limit of windows APIs for all programs that do not bypass windows APIs in favor of kernel APIs. I see nothing to change here; gnulib is correct in using 260.
